    Rebekka, Nicole, Richelle, Maitreyi, Tianne... all made for a truly memorable and fantastic learning experience! I highly recommend VSOHA as the place to go if you want to upgrade your credentials, learn to teach yoga or begin your Yoga Therapy journey. The classroom environment is professional, inclusive, open-minded, and above all constantly improving to provide students with the most efficient way of integrating modern knowledge with age-old wisdom. As life continually evolves, so does the VSOHA program to meet the needs of its students as they prepare us to meet the world as it is today. It is a real gift for us all to have this school on the West Coast of Canada! Thank you.

    I was humbled learning about Yoga Therapy Program at VSOHA. They are very good in teaching Anatomy (a subject i feared in the past but no more) . Chlesea, Rebekka , Julia, Nichole , Cheryl (the entire faculty) are really experts in what they teach and approachable enough to mentor a student when needed. I loved every bit of my program their. I am happy to have them in my city which I chose to be home as an immigrant. I am definitely considering completing my advanced yoga therapy program with VSOHA and get certified. I highly recommend this school to someone who wants to pursue Yoga Therapy.
